Yes, but it wasn't available when Geoff Kaiser asked back in 2010:-)

cool, it's just that is shows up prominently at least in my results and for that reason was including a note to guide querists south 🙂

Search google for "easter egg apple"

On MacBook Pro, press and hold Option and type 4, and you have the ¢ sign

Did you notice that the post you are replying it is over 2 years old now? Hopefully everyone got this resolved long ago now.

Just hit Alt (same thing as Option) and the number 4 = ¢ .... it works.

TThere is no alt or option key on an iPad, which is what this discussion and forum are talking about.

The easiest way to do this is to copy the ₵ sign from her and text it to your iPhone or iPad. Then, copy it from the text message you receive and paste it where it is required. Works perfectly!

Hold down the $ symbol and there should be an option to select the ¢ symbol. Also try ALT+ 0162 (on the number pad ONLY!)

Where did you ever get that idea? There is no ALT on an iPad, and ALT plus a number only works on Windows stuff.

Simply press and hold the "$" symbol for the cent sign

I'm curious: Is there something about how these forums works that makes it so you could not see that the same answer was given on Nov. 28 and Oct. 25 and Aug 27 and April 8?
